BTW I did initially attempt to download with the SuSE images with bittorrent and abandoned the attempt when I discovered that I had something like 60 open connections to various locations and the data throughput was crawling with a completion estimate of a couple of days! This could be due to bad datalinks, bad data or bandwidth throttling by the ISP, but it was beginning to have an impact on using the machine for other purposes.
It is only fast at the beginning, when there are a lot of torrent downloaders, and the available "classic" mirrors are also too busy. As to the open connections, you can configure a lower limit. For instance, I used: btdownloadcurses --spew 1 --max_upload_rate 25 --max_allow_in 12 file.torrent which allows only 12 incoming connections, as my output bandwidth is only 30, and those 60 would get only a droplet from me. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
